Place the nesting eggs in your poultry nesting boxes to encourage hens to lay in designated areas and reduce egg loss or breakage. Simply position one or a pair of eggs in each nesting box before your hens begin laying. Replace eggs as needed if they become soiled or damaged. Remove and clean eggs regularly to maintain hygiene in your nesting boxes. Tips: Use one pair of nesting eggs per box to maximise effectiveness and encourage natural laying behaviour. Keep nesting boxes clean and dry, as this encourages hens to use them consistently. Consider using alongside soft nesting materials like straw or wood shavings for added comfort and egg protection.
